The Biden administration is relying on the assumption that more people will support than oppose his proposed employer vaccine mandate since there are more vaccinated people than unvaccinated. But an early poll shows the president is wrong: His plan to force employers with more than 100 employees to mandate either vaccination or weekly testing is divisive and unconvincing to many.
A Quinnipiac University poll found a slight majority of people (51%) disapprove and that nearly half (48%) agreed that it goes too far. Only 10% claimed the mandate does not go far enough, and 39% said it’s just right. When pushed with specifics about the mandate, the numbers changed slightly — 53% of respondents approved, and 46% of them stood by their initial disapproval.
